Mr.. Ewing In person was large and vigorously
built He had sound body and q sound mind.
Tho hard labor Of his early life In clearing the
forests and feeding the salt furnaces developed
his figure and gave him strength and endurance
far beyond what would have been his had his
youth been one Of enso and luxury. He also 40
quirod habits OF industry which he never lost,
I have asked the older people OF Lancaster n
good many questions about Mr.. Ewing ns an or
ator. He was not graceful speaker, but one
that always commanded attention. He was
powerful from what he had TO say rather than
from his way Of saying II. Plain frank, direct
and fearless, with little no attempt at ora
torical display, no evlnood rare determination
to his lot. When his mind was hxod upon
point 1t was impossible to swcrvc him.
There were others more eloquent In manner
than ho, but few were more powerful in
thought, few there were with more resources,
or who had more or better weapons to wiold in
debate or argument. He seemed to have been
thoroughly informed on every point that arose,
and displayed wise and various knowledge
Mr.. Ewing was buried in the cemetery at Lsn~
caster. A picture of the Ewing monument is
herewith given.
Aside from his greatness the life Of Thomas
Ewing makes an interesting and profitable
study, because It gives q deep and vivid insight
into the lives and struggles of the pioneers of
Ohio. His carly hardships were typical. What
he had to endure in the way OF physical toll and
discomfort and dearth OF advantages the son of
nearly every other man who came to Ohio prior
TO 1900 had to suffer in greater or less degree

The Buffalo Moth.

To exterminate the buffalo or carpet
moth, Prof. L. o. Howard, assistant in
charge of the Division of Entomology
at Washington, says: Where this in
sect is discovered in a carpeted room,
the carpet should be taken up and
sprinkled with benzine. and this sub
stance should be poured into the cracks
of the floor and under the base boards.
After airing both the room and the
carpet, to get rid of the disagreeablc
odor, strips of roofing paper (preparcd
with gas tar), about two feet in width,
should be spread around the edges of
the room and the carpet should be
tackled down over them. Good House
keeping.

these refined dresses, no matter what nov-
elites appear.
There is a revival of the old fashion of
having the corsage of the slip that is worn
under q lace bodice cut decollette with
that of the transparent material high, and
with no silk lining to the lace sleeves, but
a bodice of this sort is reserved for dress
occasions, teas and fetes, and is never worn
publicly by women of refnei tastes. Pale
absiuthe-green surah is! one OF the very
popular colors used for silk slips under
lace, either white or black. 1t is tint
however, which, unlike a slip of black or
white, soon bears its date. New lace
dresses are shown, which show skirt,
having single hounce gathered to cover
it about three-quarters of its length. Above
this is Buckingham" tuuic, which
droops in full puff above this founce,
and is made of rows of ribbons alternating
with lace insertion. Long loops and
streamers of the ribbon are set at the left
sido of the airy draperies in the back.
